It’s hard to believe the Tesla Semi can accelerate this fast while hauling a trailer

The Tesla Semi certainly won’t win any drag races, but as far as trucks go, Tesla’s all-electric truck is unquestionably impressive. With respect to performance, the Tesla Semi can accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH in just 5 seconds flat. Even more impressive is that the Tesla Semi can go from 0-60 MPH in 20 seconds while hauling 80,000 pounds. Suffice it to say, the Tesla Semi is a incredibly powerful truck that doesn’t need more than a few seconds to really get rolling.

Interestingly enough, the Tesla Semi made its first official cargo run just last week when it left Tesla’s Gigafactory in Nevada and embarked on a 250 mile trip to Tesla’s main factory in Fremont, California. Still, Tesla Semi sightings have been few and far in between, which shouldn’t come as much of a surprise given that mass production isn’t even set to begin until 2019. Still, the few Tesla Semi sightings that have been recorded to video have been rather impressive.
